steep fire roads and single track.
some tough climbs.
nice scenery of the military base and back country of san clemente.
look out for ticks, deer, and snakes
Most trails end at Chritianitos/Camp Pendalton entrance so don''t worry about getting lost.
there are a few miles of single track mixed in so keep your eyes open.

I had a lot of fun here. We rode the SS 29ers for about 90 minutes. There are lots of quick ups and downs which I like. Pretty twisty at times and right now the grass and trees really encroach into the trail. I was amazed to not find any ticks on me after that ride. I'll head back up in a few weeks as things die off and out of the trail. Overall a lot of fun. I imagine it's miserable after any rain, due to all the clay. Once it dries though it is fast.

Customer Service

As stated above. I saw several options as we rode, so I would like to get out there and search around.

This is by far my favorite trail. Its single track heaven. I take it single speed and rigid on my 29er...its a good time

Customer Service

My route is parking the car at Carl's Jr. Off of the Cristianitos exit

Head towards east on Cristianitos, after a hill on (while riding on the road) you will see a fir road with a building near it. Don;t take that one. keep going until you see another fire road take it and when you come to the intersection turn right. Stick right at the nevt fork in the road after the yellow gate.

Stick on that trail..i think its called paulsey's trail (a motorcycle helmet and sign are on a tree. Anyways follow the single track which will eventually send you onto the paved road again, or if you dare go through the brush..it can be done.. Next stick to on that side of the road and you will see another entrance for the single track, take it and follow it ...keep to the clearly marked trails and you will end up at a fence that will take you in a million directions...there are tons of trails back there....not a trail for the faint because some do lead no nothing so if you go exploring go in groups...
